FLORIAN WIRTZ BUNDESLIGA is one of the best signatures in the history of Bayer Leverkusen Devin OZEK | Soccer news

FLORIAN WIRTZ is one of the best signatures in Bundesliga history, for former Bayer Leverkusen assistant Devin OZEK.

WIRTZ has moved this summer, and Sky Germany believes that the player is leaning on moving to Liverpool.

The 22 -year -old boy has been a full -time career at Leverkusen, and in January 2020, he joined the club’s youth class and made his debut four months later.

OZEK, who left Leverkusen earlier this year, discussed the influence of WIRTZ in the club. Sky Sports News In an exclusive interview: “He is an incredibly intelligent player, understanding the space between the lines, creating opportunities, and a high -end playmaker.

“But if we talk about Florian Wirtz, we have to give Simon Rolfes a lot of credit (Levercusen Sports Director) because he did a great job because he did a great job to sign him. It is one of the best signatures in Bundesliga.

One player to join Liverpool while Wirtz arrives in the Premier League is Jeremie Frimpong of Leverkusen. A 24 -year -old boy arrived in England earlier this week and finished his move to Anfield.

When Leverkusen asked how he developed a player like Frimpong in Germany since 2021, OZEK added:

“Good scouts and scouts are still doing good things, so we were able to sign this kind of player.”

WIRTZ and Frimpong discussed the success of Xabi Alonso, which is only two of the topics dealt with OZEK, and was released on Sunday as a new Real Madrid coach at Leverkusen’s successful spells and advanced defenders Jonathan Tah.

Alonso, Tah and Tuchel …

Why do you feel confident about the potential of Xabi Alonso?

“If you look at the game of Real Sociedad B, you can see that he has realized a clear philosophy. Then, at the end of the season, you can see the great development of young players at the end of the season.

“That’s why he’s comfortable with him because he’s a big package when he goes to the coaches.

“He has a great personality. If he enters the room, it’s a special atmosphere, and I think he is a special person. He will be a big coach.”

How do you notice Jonathan Tah’s play style and leadership?

“He is an intelligent stopper. He has a good balance to become a defender, but at the same time he developed a lot in the ball play, both of them mixed the characters as a leader, leading the team in a quiet but clear way and making him a very good player.

“It’s always the success of the team that individuals make more attractive. He was able to take a big step in playing a very good game in an important game. So his market is bigger now.”

(Xabi) Is it easy to maintain after the successful season with the best players like (Xabi) Alonso and Wirtz, (Jonathan) TAH and Frimpong?

“I won’t say it’s easy. The two CEOs did something amazing. They were very close to the team, communicated very good with the players, and communicated very early. It was a big thing to keep 80-90 %of the squad.”

What do you think about Thomas Tuchel’s appointment of the UK national team?

“I was a little surprised, but I think it’s suitable. As a club coach, when you saw him in the Champions League semi -finals, he was always able to respond to tactical things. As a national team coach, it is a great quality, a good team and a young team. So I believe they can succeed.”

Bayer Leverkusen at his time …

Can you explain your role and what you are involved in Bayer Leverkusen?

“I was working as a right hand of Simon Rolfes, the CEO of Bayer Leverkusen’s SPORTS, and we were working with small teams doing squad planning, transmission management, loan management, coach scouts.

“So I travel around the world every day, talk with agents, meet clubs, meet players, and prepare and run with teams.

“I don’t know if there’s a secret (for Levercusen’s success), but as I work as a team, I think I can say what I can say, the club has a special atmosphere, and we have two amazing CEOs, I think this is a secret.

How did you build a team that creates so powerful and history?

“We are not lucky to have a strong squad (powerful squad). We have worked in detail because we have worked closely in the structure of what we want to analyze, what we need, and the successful team. I think this makes us success with the player’s player and fantastic coach.”

The complexity of the transmission …

Do you still balance the player sales while building a competitive team?

“Sales are a very important point because of all the financial rules we have in other leagues in the UEFA, and at the same time we are thinking about the category.

“It depends on whether you are the best club or sales club, but regardless of what kind of club you are, you always have a player from the project, and it’s important to start working very early, understanding the player we want to sell, and working actively.”

How do you handle players, especially high wages, especially low wages, not part of your project?

“It is important to check the expectation of the player, the expectation of the agent, and then check which kind of club can pay the transfer fee.

“Then, if you are looking for who is looking for this position, and you know that there are several clubs, there are several markets that can be done by the market.

“As a club, it’s not only waiting for an agent, but it may be a good fee in our club. And it is important to push themselves because you are not interested in bringing the player to another club.”

How do you evaluate the right timing when you sell players and team stability?

“Timing is a very important point. The club wants to sell the player very early in the project, but the problem is that if the player is not shaped or played, he is very difficult in the market, so he needs to find the right moment.”

How do you think the market will change through the new early summer transfer and the Club World Cup?

“I don’t know because I don’t have experience about it, but my feelings are a bit strange. There are some sports directors changes because many clubs still have coaches or coaches. But on the other hand, some clubs are very early because of the cup.”

Is it true to move your business early, or is it more dependent on the quality of transactions?

“Maybe so, maybe they may be in a better position at the beginning of the season, but on the other hand, what will happen in the market.

?

Have you faced an unexpected challenge in the transmission window?

“Yes, of course. Sometimes we have to be prepared because we have to be prepared because we have to get a suggestion from the player we want to sell because of the injury. But all professional clubs are working with the shadow team, so we can prepare for all positions when something comes up.”

Brighton Boss Fabian Herzeller and Germany Coach …

What do you think about Fabian Hurzeler and other young professionals like yourself?

“We do a lot of work and this is very important, then we must have luck at the right moment to get a chance, and you must use it.

“It’s also positive. If you start too young, you don’t have children, you can travel more time, you can invest more time. It’s a difference because you already have the whole family if the football player enters his position after his career.

“(Hurzeler) can go very far. He is very talented, he’s doing something amazing, and it’s already in the past. I hope development continues to do this and be one of the best coaches in the world.”

Do you think young German coaches have a lot of demand now?

“Yes. Maybe we’ll have a talented coach. Now we have to use it to succeed. I hope again. The last cup is successful with the national team, but I hope to get the title again.”

In his next career movement …

What are you looking for next after you succeed in Leverkusen?

“I am looking for the role of moving and the right project to improve myself, and I can help develop the project. It is not about the name of the club, but about the right project to succeed together and work on the team.”

Would you like to consider working in England?

“It depends on the city’s position, but the Premier League is the best league in the world, of course.”

How is the sports director different between the Premier League and the Bundesliga?

“In Bundesliga, the role of sports directors is more classic. For example, sports directors are sitting on the bench and interviewing a lot, and in the Premier League, sports directors are slightly behind (scene).

“In the Premier League, directors are traveling more, and in Germany, there are some differences because the sports director is very close to the team.”

“I like English style more because I don’t want to say every week, but sometimes I don’t want to tell me.”
